<p>Anna David turns her reporter's eye for detail toward Tinseltown's seedy underbelly yet again and eloquently and humorously unveil[s] what could be a new subgenre: Chick Lit with a Message (<em>New York Post</em>). </p><p>Tired of gathering banal quotes from the B-list on the sidelines of the red carpet Emma Swanson publicly yearns for a more substantial career but privately dreams of a hotshot boyfriend to transport her into the beating heart of the Hollywood scene. Instead she meets Jessica--beautiful cavalier manipulative--who shamelessly trades sex for the gifts it can bring. Convinced that writing a story about Jessica and her ilk would seriously boost her journalistic cred Emma soon finds herself sucked into a world where the luxuries of prettied-up prostitution may cost more than she ever expected. </p>
